A Style Set Trend Report: Top Trends of the Week
Studded Bikinis
The stud trend has gone full circle—first bags, then flip flops (think Gimaguas x Havaianas collab), and now bikinis. If super feminine, florals aren’t your vibe, these embellished swimsuits offer the perfect edgy alternative.
Shop our favorites:
Mango Triangle Bikini top with Metallic Embellishments, $59.99
Rope Sandals
Miu Miu’s Spring 2024 runway show brought rope sandals back, styled in their typical preppy chic fashion. The trend is even bigger in 2025—thanks in part to the rise of the Fisherman aesthetic. Rope sandals are the perfect upgrade from your basic flip flops: try them in a bold red color styled with a summer dress, baggy shorts, or swimwear for a fun and playful twist.

Bucket Bags
The bucket bag is summer’s must-have carryall—especially in materials like raffia or embellished with sequins, beads, fringe, and studs. For a refined look, opt for a structured leather bucket bag to throw on over a dress. Heading to the beach? Try a beaded or seashell-embellished bucket bag that will complement your look. For nights out, a sequin or beaded bag is the perfect addition.
